How are fireflies able to glow?
Heather Shelton As a child I was fascinated by the soft glow of the summer fireflies. I used to chase after their tiny flashing bodies just to see if I could get close enough to one to figure out how they work. What is so engaging about them? Light is such a powerful force in our universe and the idea of an organism being able to create its own light is an incredibly exciting concept. How are t

What effect does ultraviolet radiation have on butterflies?
The goal of this project was to find out how UV light would affect the wing span, body length, and black wing coloration of tiger swallowtails (Pterourus glaucus). Two groups of tiger swallowtail pupae were exposed to UV light for 1 minute daily and 5 minutes daily, respectively. Another group received no UV light.

Is the aging process in fruit flies affected by oxygen's radical roles?
The purpose of this experiment was to find out if oxygen's radical role has an effect on aging. The hypothesis states that oxygen's radical role does have an effect on aging. Based on background information and previous experiments performed by scientists, oxygen's radical roles do effect the aging process.

How would a chicken's growth be affected by synthethic steroids?
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of synthetic steroids on the growth of chickens. The predicted outcome was that the group that received the steroid, Depo-medrol would gain the least amount of weight based on last year's experiment.

Do changes in the environment such as temperature and light affect shrimp in their choice of habitats?
In this lab, you will examine the habitat preferences of the brine shrimp, Artemia. You will use controlled experimentation to determine the thermal, pH, and light environments selected by Artemia. Based on your experience with this lab, you will design an experiment that could be used to survey other variables and other organisms.

Is creatine monohydrate the most effective vitamin for weight gain in mice?
The scientist predicted that Creatine Monohydrate would out perform any and all other possibilities of weight gain. This is a list of the way he thinks everything will fall into place, first; Creatine Monohydrate, next Centrium (daily vitamin) then last, a plain diet.

Does androstenedione affect a rodent's weight?
In my project I intend to find out if androstenedione actually performs as claimed by producers of the drug. Many athletes take it and all say that it does help them to gain bulk. Many have had large increases in weight and muscle. Most professional sport organizations have banned it and claim it to be a steroid, but it is allowed in high school sports and in major league baseball. I think it will

Can mice tell the difference between bad-tasting food that's laced with Lithium Chloride and ordinary food?
The purpose of this experiment was to see how long disgusting taste can linger in the memory of mice. I believe that the mice will not be able to tell a difference between the Lithium Chloride and the food without Lithium Chloride.

Is an animal's sleeping habits affected by artificial light?
The purpose of my project is to see if an animal's sleep habit can be altered by artificial light. I think that you can alter an animal's sleep habit by artificial light. The reason I think this is because animals are not that smart, and it would be easy to confuse them. I am going to measure their activity during the day and during the night.

How do pesticides affect cockroaches?
The purpose of this experiment was to test the effects of pesticides on insects. My hypotheses is that most of the insects will adapt to the insect sprays, but they will not survive the effects of the insect bait.
